About This Guide
The Avi Multi-Cluster Kubernetes Operator Guide provides information about deploying, managing, and removing an instance of the AMKO controller on Openshift/Kubernetes clusters. The VMware Avi Load Balancer platform integrates with OpenShift/Kubernetes providing a redesigned architecture involving a new operator called Avi Multi-Cluster Kubernetes Operator (AMKO) to facilitate multi-cluster application deployments.
View AllOverview
TheAMKO is an operator for Kubernetes/OpenShift that facilitates application delivery across multiple clusters. AMKO runs as a pod in one of the clusters and provides DNS-based Global Server Load Balancing for an application that is deployed across multiple clusters. AMKO automates the GSLB configuration and operations on theAvi Load Balancer platform. Together with theAvi Kubernetes Operator (AKO) in each cluster,AKO andAMKO provide application deployment and operations through familiar Kubernetes/OpenShift objects andAvi Load Balancer CRDs.

This topic explains the AMKO version 1.13 support for Kubernetes/OpenShift.
View AllDeriving GslbService FQDNs
This topic explains the two modes in detail, and describes how and when to use each mode.
View AllFederation
AMKO uses federation to replicate AMKO configuration to a set of member clusters. This ensures a seamless recovery of AMKO configuration during disasters.
View AllInstall and Configure AMKO
The AMKO facilitates application deployments across multiple OpenShift/Kubernetes clusters.
View AllSetting up Routing Rules using CRDs
Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) are used to extend the Kubernetes APIs server with additional schemas.AMKO uses theAMKO Cluster to configure a federation to member clusters.
View AllTenancy support in AMKO
This feature allows AMKO to create GSLB object in a user-specified tenant inAvi Load Balancer. The expected isolation and administrative restrictions of a multi-tenant architecture in Avi Load Balancer GSLB extend to AMKO.
View AllTroubleshooting
This topic is a list of troubleshooting steps to use in case there are issues when using AMKO.
